[armedbear-devel] Infinite loop loading compiled file

[Greg Baryza]

I have a self-contained directory that has only the QI files needed to 
reproduce the problem.  In it there is a subdirectory called JAR where you 
should place the ABCL jar file of your choice.  _COMPILE.bat compiles files 
and then loads them; it hangs trying to load the fourth file. _BUILD.bat 
uses the same files but just loads the lisp sources; it works.

I have all this in a 16KB zip file ready to go.  Where do you want it?
